5.0 out of 5 stars A superb supportive book on breastfeeding, 7 Jan 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Breast is Best (Paperback)

I only read this book when I was past the most difficult stages of breastfeeding, about 10 weeks, and should have read it before my baby was born. It is excellent: clear and detailed. The particular section I found useful was that on increasing the milk supply, there are loads of tips which really work. As worry about milk supply is a common reason people give up breastfeeding this section is very valuable.

It's a real breastfeeding bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the support a breastfeeding mum needs, 3 Jan 2003

Miss S J Clark - See all my reviews

This review is from: Breast is Best (Paperback)

I'm a 19 yr old single mum and am currently breasfeeding my 13 month old son.
I brought this book when my little boy was about 3 months old - namely because i was under a lot of pressure to wean. This book is absolutely brillant and provides lots of help for increasing low milk supply (a reason why many mothers stop BF) and gives practical solutions to many problems one encounters. I learnt a lot more about the health benefits for both myself and my son by breastfeeding and this armed me with more confidence to make a stand against early weaning. It also has a section for mothers returning to work.
As a result, my son was exclusively breastfed until a year old. I managed to express each day at work and the book gives lots of tips regarding milk storage.
I still read through the book every now and then - especially since there is a section devoted to feeding the "older" baby. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who needs more support in their decision to BF. I intend to keep it in my home for future reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book kept me breastfeeding, 27 Oct 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Breast is Best (Paperback)

This may not be an easy book to read through before the birth of your child due to the amount of information it contains, but it is invaluable as a reference source if you develop problems with feeding. Other books tend to mention problems almost in passing, without a clear guide as to how to manage them, whereas this one is full of practical advice about the full range of complications. It has been an invaluable resource for myself and several friends, helping us deal with a spectrum of feeding problems successfully.
